FlowPhotoChem team members on the move: Knowledge exchange and training

2023-09-08T14:36:11+01:00December 13th, 2021|Project News|

From August 4th through the 6th, 2021, researchers Siddharth Gupta and Dr Gumaa El-Nagar from the Helmholtz Young Investigator Group “Electrochemical Conversion of CO2” at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin travelled to the University of Szeged in Hungary to learn more about the work being done at the group of Profs. Csaba Janaky and Balázs Endrődi. Siddharth comments, "The primary aim of the trip was to understand the operating procedure used by the group in Hungary for the EC reactor developed by them in conjunction with ThalesNano. This was done with the view to overcome reproducibility challenges within the consortium and enable rapid catalyst [...]
